Recenzje

'Now that I know his book exists, I can't imagine teaching without it. Language and Society provides a powerful guide to the study of language in interaction, departing in important ways from traditional textbooks on Sociolinguistics. Each lucid chapter synthesizes ultra-up-to-date multidisciplinary research from around the globe, across languages and media, and offers engaging activities and project suggestions for students that encourage mini forays into their own research on language and society.' Betsy Rymes, University of Pennsylvania/Graduate School of Education
